They may be small, loud and famously feisty, but American red squirrels have an outsized effect on their ecosystems. Expedition Leader Eleanor Edye takes a deep dive into the lives of these “adorable warriors” of the boreal forests of Canada and the northern United States. Learn how red squirrels shape forest habitats through seed dispersal, how they survive extreme cold and wildfire, and why their notoriously territorial and aggressive behavior is key to defending precious resources in a challenging environment.
